Ep 58 - Vanessa Prager : Stepping Through The Portal

I had a great conversation with artist Vanessa Prager in California. Vanessa paints, "dripping, melting, fading out portraits. " Some of her portraits are big, 10 foot square while others are much smaller. Big or small they are all oil and the paint is thick, really thick. Vanessa has had solo shows in California and just recently in New York. We talk about being self taught, the properties of oil paint, the solitude of the studio, reaching a mass audience, fainting goats, and a lot more . . .

Here are the main points of what we talk about:

Creative heroes,
What art exists,
